rlarc Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 On 17 Feb 2010 I started a thread titled "Cavc or equitable relief" and thanks to, among others, the advise I received here I decided to pursue an appeal with CAVC. After receiving my case, the attorneys for the CAVC asked that the case be remanded to the regional office that made the original decision. This was done, the regional office did not change their decision, the case went to the BVA (again), the BVA upheld the decision, and after receiving the BVA's decision my lawyer sent the case to the CAVC. Last week, my lawyer told me the attorneys for the VA do not feel the decision of the regional office and the BVA is supported by the facts of the case and they have agreed to settle my claim for retroactive compensation between March 1969 and March 2005 when the VA corrected my rating. I have no idea exactly what happens next. rlarc superior007 and Pete53 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlarc Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 My case went to the CAVC (for the second time) last year. The attorneys who represent the VA before the CAVC notified my attorney that they could not support the decision by the regional office and the BVA to disallow my claim. Because of this, the VA has agreed to award me the compensation that is the subject of my claim. rlarc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
